BBC F1 Secret Aerodynamicist column

[Fresh Prince]

I've just had a read and really enjoyed it. Very insightful and I felt pitched at the right level for layman armchair engineers with almost zero knowledge like myself. Looking forward to more.

£10 says it's Paddy Lowe.

Paddy's no aerodynamicist. But maybe that explains this year's Williams if they've been letting him try to be one.........

Correct! He may be a ZX Spectrum guy but he’s no wind tunnel meister.

I doubt the actual guy is anyone super senior, just a member of the aero ranks in a team. Not necessarily a “name”.

[Fresh Prince]

I reckon it's someone at a smaller F1 team, or maybe one from the ranks. Probably not a "name". Unless it's someone ridiculous like Newey.

My money's on a journalist who happens to have a decent level of aero knowledge.

I don't think so, a journalist would never lie...

"I am a senior aerodynamicist for an F1 team"

[rallycross]

it could be anyone from what was the Williams aero team, the ones who left and their jobs are now advertised! making some extra £ till they get into a decent team!

A journalist would never write as well frankly.
